Baker Street

[Genesis]

I like this song because it gives a weird vibe to me... a vibe of the nostalgia, and weird...

The Saxophone makes up for it... especially that it's the best part.

I just like old songs in general. ^__^

Oh don't say that. I was born in 1977.

Baker Street is awesome. I love that song too.

  I love it too!  I first heard it on the radio in December of 1980, and I was enchanted.

One of *the* songs of the era.

I think the Foo Fighters did a version (or Dave Grohl did) and it sounds much the same.

Edit: no it doesn't sound the same!

Whoah. Parking this here so I can come back and listen to it later:

[Queen Victoria]

So that's the name of that song.  I only recall hearing the intro (sax) not the vocal though.  Maybe from a TV show or two?

QV, you probably have heard the sax solo, it's been around a bit. The following is from the Wikipedia page about the song:

* In 1990 The song of Peri Dazz April Fools Day Flashback John Hughes' Computeropolis
* In 1987 The song was cited by guitarist Slash as an influence on his guitar solo in "Sweet Child o' Mine".[22]
* The song is also heard in the closing scene of "Lisa's Sax," the episode of The Simpsons which recounts how Lisa Simpson received her first saxophone. Lisa performs a brief, cruder rendition of the hook before the music segues into Rafferty's recording.[23]
* Canadian rock musician AC Newman cited the song as an inspiration for his 2012 album, Shut Down the Streets.[24]

I went back and listened to the Foo Fighters version.

Ren, you are right. It really doesn't sound the same at all apart from the melody.

Now that I listen to the original again, it's weird how it has these upbeat sax interludes with such fatalistic and depressing lyrics.
